how often should i wash my face???

I get so many questions on this! The answer, like with anything, is varied and requires experimentation on what works best for you. We all are so different that I shy away from many hard and fast rules.

I've tried both and it has changed over the years. if you have more oil production in your skin it is okay for you to wash AM and PM. I have a decent amount of oil in my skin normally and usually I workout in the mornings. For a long time I hadn't been washing in the mornings because it felt too drying. BUT once I started exercising consistently, I knew I needed to do something to reduce congestion. It turned out to be beneficial for me to cleanse after a workout and my skin really likes that twice-a-day cleansing ritual.

If you notice your skin feeling tight, dry, flaky, or notice irritation breakouts when you cleanse twice a day, pull back to a PM only. Another option is to use a cleansing pad after a workout and follow with your regular AM routine if you don’t feel good with a full cleanse. I love the Refine - cleansing pads from @colorupcbd!

Know that YOU know yourself best and it’s okay to change things up on occasion! There’s more to this of course, so if you have questions on what’s right for your skin, reach out!! I am always here to help!
